Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Control-line model airplanes are flown in a circle, attached to a handle by a set of lines. The pilot can control the flight of the model by manipulating the handle. Flying model airplanes on lines has a long and illustrious history. The earliest attempts at "control-line" used one line attached to a long pole. The pilot would cause the airplane to climb or dive by "leading" it with the pole. The person usually credited with inventing the now widely used two line system is Jim Walker, who came up with the idea sometime in the 30s or 40s. The two line system(often referred to a "U-Control", and used on perhaps 99% of control line models) uses a triangular bellcrank to transfer the movement of the wires to the pushrod, connected to the elevator and/or flap control horns. Some Speed flyers use "monoline", which is a system that utilizes line twisting for control. 5, record 4, English, - control%2Dline%20model%20airplane

Dans cette catégorie, les modèles équipés de moteurs, en général thermiques, sont pilotés avec deux câbles en acier de longueur bien déterminée, munis d'une poignée permettant d'actionner la commande de profondeur. L'action de monter ou descendre fera donc évoluer le modèle dans un volume semi-sphérique, centré sur le pilote. Pour ce type de modèles, il existe toutes sortes de possibilités : - La voltige [;] - Le combat [;] - Le «Team-Racing» [...] 1, record 4, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20%C3%A0%20vol%20circulaire%20command%C3%A9

Constant depth linear cutting(CDLC) provides a long-term solution to excessive dust generation from shearers and continuous mining machines through a new design of the rotary drum cutting system.... The CDLC concept is designed to cut a full face by using an eccentrically mounted triangular shaped drum. In addition to breaking to a free face with no secondary fragmentation, the CDLC will have a bit velocity well below the minimums needed for phase shifts in the bit metals or for methane ignition. 1, record 5, English, - constant%20depth%20linear%20cutting
